I hate you Billy Collins. Always taking off your shirt sipping lemonade behind sunglasses. Calm as if your pen took dictation directly. Cornfields are growing Shovels are digging Markets are crashing and still you sit writing in the sun flatfaced and smug like a cabover truck. Go ahead sit there and burn from the inside out.

Wasn't Billy Collins the movie with the English dancing boy? Nice poem.
